Purchase	￭ Improving the purchasing process and requesting quick purchase of research equipment.	Procurement Team	￭ Our institute is proceeding with the purchasing procedure in accordance with the National Contract Law. According to the relevant grounds, if you request to make a purchase exceeding 22 million won, the legal mandatory period will occur such as pre-standard disclosure (5 days) and bid notification (9 ~ 42 days). ￭ In order to shorten the period, self-bidding has been implemented by expanding the scope of request for Public Procurement Service(PPS) to more than 1 hundred million won since August 2016 and contracts less than 22 million won have been made within 5days after the date of purchase request (4.3days on average in 2017). ￭ We will improve the process and system through administrative innovation committee to shorten the time required to make a contract.
Research	￭ Requesting rapid response and expertise of team members.	Research Management Team	￭ It is planned to establish a job training program for the research management team in the 2017 job training ￭ In addition, if there is a new person in charge of research management, we will provide job training for new employees from time to time to secure job-related expertise early on.
